  1. Whats the point? on A $20 Software Defined Radio For GNU Radio · · Score: 1

    "Granted, the included antenna isn't much and the performance of the receiver is not spectacular, but for $20 or $30, how can you complain?"

    You can't complain, but you can find it irrelevant. There's almost no useful content on FM radio anyway.

    Turning a $20 dongle into a HAM transceiver, THAT would be useful...

  2. Re:Technet Subscription on MS Office 2013 Pushing Home Users Toward Subscriptions · · Score: 2

    You're always better off with Technet - then you get ALL the s/w for the same price.

  3. Re:Breaking the addiction is easier than you think on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 1

    It is 2012. Nobody on the planet should be in needless pain.

  4. Re:I had Oxy after my Donor surgery on How Big Pharma Hooked America On Legal Heroin · · Score: 1

    +1 if I had points. I have some left over vicodin (filled the prescription, never took it, thanks doc) for just this sort of emergency.

  5. Re:Commercial support on Study Urges CIOs To Choose Open Source First · · Score: 2

    You must be new here.

  6. Commercial support on Study Urges CIOs To Choose Open Source First · · Score: 4, Insightful

    CIOs buy open source tools all the time - and they pay RedHat or Oracle to support them. However - no CIO is going to spend real dollars, dollars which will get him fired, on unsupported software, no matter how cool the user forums are.

  7. Re:Faster is fine - do we need thinner? on iPhone 5 GeekBench Results · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Any reasonable laptop has a 2nd battery that replaces the optical drive. Maybe you shouldn't have bought an HP.

  8. Re:Well that's wonderful on Are Commercial Games Finally Going To Make It To Linux? · · Score: 1

    You sound gay. "pro audio" - yeah right, Mr Internet Tough Guy.

  9. Re:More power for the same battery life is Good on Is iPhone Battery Usefulness On the Decline? · · Score: 2

    I'm sure everyone wanted to throw your phone (and you) overboard. It's douches like you who ruin outdoor activities. "Yo dude guess where I am !!!"

  10. Re:This explains it! on WD Builds High-Capacity, Helium-Filled HDDs · · Score: 1

    It's been going on for a while. Didn't you buy helium futures 5 years ago?

  11. Re:Two statements: on Ubuntu NVIDIA Graphics Driver: Windows Competitive, But Only With KDE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you install Linux, then put VM+Win7 on it so she can get work done?

    Sounds like YOU are the one not adding value.

  12. Maybe change your laws ? on Australia Attorney General Proposes New Laws To Stop Twitter Trolls · · Score: 1

    Since your first laws didn't immediately produce a well ordered, polite society of Internet users, maybe realize that you can't legislate taste or manners, and STFU?

  13. Re:SI units, please on Synthetic Materials Set New World Record For Greatest Amount of Surface Area · · Score: 1

    You people have football fields too.

  14. Re:Duh on The Lies Disks and Their Drivers Tell · · Score: -1

    Making NW 2.15c mount a 4 GB volume just so you can say you did it would not be fun today, but back then it was work, and clients paid for it. I'm glad it wasn't a VINES server.

    You sound retarded. And gay.

  15. Re:Quite stupid... on Nokia Claims a Memory Card Slot Would Have "Defiled" New Phone · · Score: 1

    It's a phone.... why do you need 32GB of storage, LOCAL to the phone? Do you have that many friends? Is your addressbook THAT large ?

  16. Why ever use Bitcoin in the first place? on BitFloor Joins List of Compromised BitCoin Exchanges · · Score: 0

    What need did it fill that was not satisfied by other online payment systems?

  17. They are thinking VERY seriously about it on Networked Cars: Good For Safety, Bad For Privacy · · Score: 3, Informative

    And the outcome doesn't look positive. Police/Feds/DHS/TSA are all salivating over this - they're thinking exactly how to collect, store and use this information.

  18. maintain a physical address on Taking Telecommuting To the Next Level - the RV · · Score: 1

    There are RV associations which will help you with this. You will need an address for things like bills, insurance, registration of your RV, etc.

    Invest in some solar. A handful of collapsible panels will keep you topped off and powered up while you're stationary, no need to run the internal ($$) generator or try and run off the main engine. In fact most main engines on RVs aren't equipped to power the interior. See about getting additional battery capacity as well.

  19. Paging Mr. Roark on Torvalds Takes Issue With De Icaza's Linux Desktop Claims · · Score: 1, Troll

    The creator’s concern is the conquest of nature. The parasite’s concern is the conquest of men. The creator lives for his work. He needs no other men. His primary goal is within himself. The parasite lives second-hand. He needs others. Others become his prime motive.

    Linux does just fine without GNOME. Does it work the other way?

  20. If the car is licensed... on California To License Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 4, Funny

    And your driver's license lets you vote in CA, does that mean these cars get to vote? Can they vote themselves "car friendly" politicians? Will we be talking about "vehicle rights" in the next election?

    In a panic, will we try and pull the plug?

  21. Relativity effects due to gravity? on Radioactive Decay Apparently Influenced By the Sun · · Score: 1

    If we're moving closer or farther from the Sun, shouldn't the differences in gravity make time flow at different speeds?

  22. Desktop is irrelevant, it's the APPS on The True Challenges of Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    The color and shape of desktop window widgets is irrelevant. Being able to browse a remote site via SFTP in a standard "Explorer" type view is irrelevant. When you get a working Exchange client, and a drop-in replacement for the Office suite (INCLUDING VISIO) then Linux on the desktop will be viable.

  23. They need to innovate on AMD's Next-Gen Steamroller CPU Could Deliver Where Bulldozer Fell Short · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Things like hitting the 1GHz mark first, and making a workable 64bit chip that also speaks x86 only get you so far. AMD needs to come up with something cool, else they're doomed to play catch-up.

  24. Why NIST? on NIST Publishes Draft Guidelines For Server BIOS Protection · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why is the government proposing any standards for computer BIOSes? Can you say backdoor? Can you say "abuse of the Commerce Clause" ?

  25. Re:Wait... on Windows 8 Tells Microsoft About Everything You Install · · Score: 2

    Unless you use TrendMicro or any of the vendors who have a "cloud" solution.
